Use Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) For Orthodontic Treatment

The year is getting ready to wind down to a close, and we know that means many of our patients are getting their tax documents and finances in order to start the next year off strong. But there’s one part of the financial equation that many people forget about – the end of the year means it’s time to spend the rest of the money in your FSA!

FSAs (Flexible Spending Accounts) are tax-free accounts that let you set aside pre-tax money to use on healthcare expenses, providing a flexible solution for families to make more informed decisions about their health care. At Stormberg Orthodontics, we strive to help our patients make the best choices when it comes to orthodontics – and using your FSA to achieve a new smile through Invisalign treatment is an excellent idea for many patients.

Don’t Lose Your FSA Dollars At Year’s End

What many people forget about FSAs is that, while they’re a helpful and versatile financial product, they reset at the end of the year. You forfeit any money left over in an FSA that you haven’t spent by the end of the year – so if you still have money in your FSA and you don’t spend it in the next three months, you’ll lose it forever! With the end of the year approaching, most people have already covered their major health care expenses for the year, making it a great time to prioritize achieving a new smile.

Enjoy a Beautiful Smile Just in Time for the Holidays

Invisalign offers a convenient, effective way to achieve a beautiful new smile without the brackets and wires of braces. And, if you’re pursuing Invisalign as adult orthodontic treatment, you’re in luck: because most adults don’t require the same extensive treatment that children do, their treatment times are often significantly shorter. That means starting Invisalign now is the perfect way to give yourself the gift of a new smile in time for big holiday events or weddings in the spring! Plus, achieving a new smile provides a boost in confidence, happiness, and self-esteem that you’ll get to feel for years to come. Choosing to use your FSA dollars on Invisalign is investing in your quality of life.

With the end of the year approaching, and New Year’s Resolutions right around the corner, it’s never too soon to start planning! Big events like weddings and vacations are memories that will last a lifetime, and you’ll want to look your very best for all the photo ops.
